wraith89 Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Imperial Rage Warning: This game will be a constant battle between Wraith89 and Lady Fortuna. Be advised, a lot of hax to come to plague Wraith, but Wraith foils Fortuna once again in a battle between wits and muscles and romances (just kidding about the last part!). Rules: Evasion Clause, Extended Game, OHKO Clause, Sleep Clause, Timed Battle Pokemon: (In order of appearance) Wraith89 Austin Sol Battle between [QT]Austin Sol and Cécile-Aimée Renault started! Tier: Wifi Rule: Unrated GL;HF let's go. v Cécile-Aimée Renault sent out Charles X! (Forretress) [QT]Austin Sol sent out Alakazam! Start of turn 1 [QT]Austin Sol called Alakazam back! [QT]Austin Sol sent out Gastrodon! (Gastrodon-East) v Charles X used Gyro Ball! It's not very effective... The foe's Gastrodon lost 5% of its health! The foe's Gastrodon restored a little HP using its Leftovers! Me, being a naive person, didn't open up with Stealth Rocks, afraid that Alakazam would hurt me catastrophically, so I opened up with a Gyro Ball, hoping to nail a KO. Unfortunately, I get completely trolled by that sea slug Gastrodon who switch in. Ha. I will set up Rocks the next turn. v Start of turn 2 The foe's Gastrodon used Hidden Power! It's super effective! A critical hit! Charles X lost 353 HP! (99% of its health) Charles X held on thanks to Sturdy! Charles X used Stealth Rock! Pointed stones float in the air around [QT]Austin Sol's team! Hidden Power Fire? Good grief. I'm glad Sturdy works as a makeshift Focus Sash in Generation V, or else I would not have the rocks I needed. It even critical hitted me like a jerk. This doesn't forebode well for me. Anyways, time to pull out! v Start of turn 3 Cécile-Aimée Renault called Charles X back! Cécile-Aimée Renault sent out Louis XVI! (Drifblim) The foe's Gastrodon used Hidden Power! Louis XVI lost 85 HP! (19% of its health) I'm sure my Drifblim can take the seaslug down. It's nothing more than a set up bait at this point, so I might as well. Here goes nothing. v Start of turn 4 Louis XVI used Calm Mind! Louis XVI's Sp. Att. rose! Louis XVI's Sp. Def. rose! The foe's Gastrodon used Surf! Louis XVI lost 108 HP! (24% of its health) Calm Mind gives Drifblim a needed boost to both its Special Attack and Special Defence, lowering Surf's damage to a measly 24%. Not bad. v Start of turn 5 Louis XVI used Shadow Ball! The foe's Gastrodon lost 38% of its health! The foe's Gastrodon's Sp. Def. fell! The foe's Gastrodon used Surf! Louis XVI lost 108 HP! (24% of its health) The foe's Gastrodon restored a little HP using its Leftovers! Whoot! 38% Shadow Ball and special defence lowering! This looks pretty good, except my health doesn't look promising. Maybe it's time to rest. v Start of turn 6 Louis XVI used Rest! Louis XVI went to sleep and became healthy! Louis XVI ate its Chesto Berry! Louis XVI woke up! The foe's Gastrodon used Recover! The foe's Gastrodon regained health! And Rest I do... and the seaslug decides to Recover. Hmm. Time to set up more Calm Minds. I should come out on top. v Start of turn 7 Louis XVI used Calm Mind! Louis XVI's Sp. Att. rose! Louis XVI's Sp. Def. rose! The foe's Gastrodon used Ice Beam! It's super effective! Louis XVI lost 104 HP! (23% of its health) Louis XVI was frozen solid! Uhhhhhhh... ugh what?! Surprise Ice Beam! But that's not the worst news here. I just got myself freeze haxxed. Well, everyone else thaws out immediately. Let's see if I can do the same! v Start of turn 8 Louis XVI is frozen solid! The foe's Gastrodon used Surf! Louis XVI lost 81 HP! (18% of its health) I guess not. I wish you had Scald or something. Sigh. v Start of turn 9 Louis XVI is frozen solid! The foe's Gastrodon used Ice Beam! It's super effective! Louis XVI lost 112 HP! (25% of its health) Yeah, I don't think this is happening. One or two turns, this balloon is going to pop, gone to never ever land to never ever return... v Start of turn 10 Louis XVI thawed out! Louis XVI used Rest! Louis XVI went to sleep and became healthy! The foe's Gastrodon used Ice Beam! It's super effective! Louis XVI lost 108 HP! (24% of its health) Wow, that's trolling. They decide to dethaw me out as I try to Rest this turn. Unfortunately, I do not have a Chesto Berry ready this time, so it's all or nothing. I can take 2 Ice Beams coming at me. v Start of turn 11 Louis XVI is fast asleep! The foe's Gastrodon used Ice Beam! It's super effective! Louis XVI lost 102 HP! (22% of its health) Two turns of sleep. Just two turns. How hard can this be? v Start of turn 12 Louis XVI is fast asleep! The foe's Gastrodon used Ice Beam! It's super effective! Louis XVI lost 100 HP! (22% of its health) Minimum damage roll, I love you. I'll get up the next turn, so it shouldn't be all too bad. v Start of turn 13 Louis XVI woke up! Louis XVI used Shadow Ball! The foe's Gastrodon lost 71% of its health! The foe's Gastrodon used Ice Beam! It's super effective! Louis XVI lost 116 HP! (26% of its health) Louis XVI was frozen solid! The foe's Gastrodon restored a little HP using its Leftovers! W-w-w-w-w-w-WHHHHAAAAAAATTTTT???!!! Random Number Goddess, you cannot be serious! My Drifblim gets up ONLY to FREEZE AGAIN?! At this point, Drifblim is gone in one more turn. v Start of turn 14 Louis XVI is frozen solid! The foe's Gastrodon used Hidden Power! A critical hit! Louis XVI lost 18 HP! (4% of its health) Louis XVI fainted! The foe's Gastrodon restored a little HP using its Leftovers! Like a troll that Gastrodon decides to use a fire move to thaw me out... because Drifblim already headed towards Never Ever Land, never ever to return. Unfair, I should have come out on top of that one, but RNG decides to intervene and say "No you can't do that!". Terrific. I have 4 effective Pokemon left since Forretress is at 1 HP anyways. How am I supposed to deal with this nuisance? 5-6 v Cécile-Aimée Renault sent out George III! (Empoleon) v Start of turn 15 [QT]Austin Sol called Gastrodon back! [QT]Austin Sol sent out Chansey! Pointed stones dug into the foe's Chansey! George III used Grass Knot! The foe's Chansey lost 3% of its health! Predicting my Grass Knot Gastrodon switches out to Chansey, who takes a mere 3% from Empoleon. This doesn't forebode well for the penguin. But I do have one tool to fight against the egg. v Start of turn 16 The foe's Chansey used Thunder Wave! George III is paralyzed! It may be unable to move! George III used Roar! v Pointed stones dug into the foe's Archeops! The foe's Archeops was dragged out! Why does everyone insist on paralysing my Empoleon? Why? Anyhow, I Roar her out, which is great, but I end up with a scary customer. Archeops. Sigh. Let's see what he does because I don't want to leave Empoleon in to take an unnecessary hit. For now, I'll assume it's either Choice Band/Scarf/Expert Belt'd/Life Orb'd. It has to be any of these. v Start of turn 17 Cécile-Aimée Renault called George III back! Cécile-Aimée Renault sent out Charles X! (Forretress) v The foe's Archeops used Earthquake! Charles X lost 1 HP! (0% of its health) Charles X fainted! My cannon fodder is out, taking an Earthquake. I still don't know if it's Expert Belt or Choice. Whatever, Empoleon doesn't get OHKOd by non STAB'd Earthquake anyhow. I know that for a fact. He's lived through Haxorus's Earthquake, he shouldn't have a problem with Archeops. 4-6 v Cécile-Aimée Renault sent out George III! (Empoleon) Start of turn 18 The foe's Archeops used Earthquake! It's super effective! A critical hit! George III lost 372 HP! (100% of its health) George III fainted! WHAT. IN. THE. WORLD. My world is ending. So much for my tankish steel penguin. RNG, you've done it again. I've lost another Pokemon thanks to you. 3-6 v Cécile-Aimée Renault sent out Victoria! (Blissey) v Start of turn 19 [QT]Austin Sol called Archeops back! [QT]Austin Sol sent out Chansey! Pointed stones dug into the foe's Chansey! Victoria used Seismic Toss! The foe's Chansey lost 14% of its health! I guess I have no choice. I know Blissey is a bad idea against a primarily physical Pokemon, but she can take a hit or two, especially from a non-STABd move. But like a troll, the opponent sends out Chansey. Yeah, I don't like where this is going, but here goes nothing. v Start of turn 20 Victoria used Seismic Toss! The foe's Chansey lost 14% of its health! The foe's Chansey used Toxic! Victoria was poisoned! Victoria is hurt by poison! Well, rather Blissey take the Toxic than anyone else. She can switch out and heal out of it later anyhow. That was there to see what Chansey would have done. I probably should have Protected, but meh. I guess I was in an offensive mood that day </corny> v Start of turn 21 Victoria used Wish! The foe's Chansey used Softboiled! The foe's Chansey regained health! Victoria restored a little HP using its Leftovers! Victoria is hurt by poison! This Chansey is running Softboiled. That means she uses Toxic/Thunder Wave/Seismic Toss/Softboiled, I'm assuming. Either Taunt bait or Gengar/Excadrill bait. Too bad I don't use any of those. Time to switch out. v Start of turn 22 Cécile-Aimée Renault called Victoria back! Cécile-Aimée Renault sent out James VI & I! (Dragonite) v [QT]Austin Sol called Chansey back! [QT]Austin Sol sent out Scizor! Pointed stones dug into the foe's Scizor! Victoria's wish came true! UGH. It's as if my opponent knew what I was planning on doing. Since I don't have a Fire attack on this Dragonite, I'll switch to someone who does! v Start of turn 23 Cécile-Aimée Renault called James VI & I back! Cécile-Aimée Renault sent out Antoinette! (Ninetales) Antoinette's Drought intensified the sun's rays! The foe's Scizor used Bullet Punch! It's not very effective... Antoinette lost 90 HP! (31% of its health) The foe's Scizor is hurt by its Life Orb! The sunlight is strong! 31%. Not bad. But then again, if you realise that it was resisted, it would have done 62% if unresisted. OWWWW. But either way, I'm forcing out a switch. Time to burn down the trash! v Start of turn 24 [QT]Austin Sol called Scizor back! [QT]Austin Sol sent out Gliscor! Pointed stones dug into the foe's Gliscor! Antoinette used Flamethrower! The foe's Gliscor lost 63% of its health! The sunlight is strong! The foe's Gliscor's Toxic Orb activated! The foe's Gliscor was poisoned! In retrospect, I should have probably Nasty Plotted, knowing I'd force a switch, but 62% is good enough. In the sun, Ninetales with nearly max SpA can leave a huge dent on many things. And she's faster than a lot of Pokemon and bulky enough to take a few hits, particularly from the special side. v Start of turn 25 The foe's Gliscor used Protect! The foe's Gliscor protected itself! Antoinette used Flamethrower! The foe's Gliscor protected itself! The sunlight is strong! The foe's Gliscor restored HP using its Poison Heal! Poison Heal Gliscor. Naively I decide to attack... and Gliscor decides to heal up. But you're not surviving the next impact Gliscor! v Start of turn 26 Antoinette used Flamethrower! The foe's Gliscor lost 36% of its health! The foe's Gliscor fainted! The sunlight is strong! v [QT]Austin Sol sent out Archeops! Pointed stones dug into the foe's Archeops! And the scorpion goes down! It just comes to show how important resistances are in this metagame. A factor of 2 makes a huge difference, such as Ninetales taking 31% from a LO Bullet Punch. Remember that kids! And here he brings out Archeops, now at 50%. Will I live through his next attack? 3-5 v Start of turn 27 The foe's Archeops used Stone Edge! It's super effective! Antoinette lost 199 HP! (68% of its health) Antoinette fainted! The sunlight is strong! Cécile-Aimée Renault sent out Victoria! (Blissey) That crazy Archeopteryx still manages to KO Ninetales. Mhh, I should invest in more defences next time. But now that this thing is weakened, I guess it's time to bring out my own little wall now. 2-5 v Start of turn 28 Victoria used Protect! Victoria protected itself! The foe's Archeops used Stone Edge! Victoria protected itself! The sunlight is strong! Victoria restored a little HP using its Leftovers! Luckily, I know how little PP Stone Edge has. Maybe I can PP stall it out. But wait, if all he is spamming is Stone Edge, this thing is Choiced somehow. v Start of turn 29 The foe's Archeops used Stone Edge! A critical hit! Victoria lost 364 HP! (55% of its health) Victoria used Seismic Toss! The foe's Archeops lost 34% of its health! The sunlight is strong! Victoria restored a little HP using its Leftovers! . . . critical hit. B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T v Start of turn 30 The foe's Archeops used Stone Edge! A critical hit! Victoria lost 286 HP! (43% of its health) Victoria fainted! The sunlight is strong! You can't be serious here! Double. Crit????? This is unreal. And it even took poor Victoria down. In retrospect, I should have Protected, but I didn't expect this. Not at all. Not to mention all of his Stone Edges connected. That leaves me with NO other choice, but ONE Pokemon left. Can I make it? 1-5 Let's get this over with... v Cécile-Aimée Renault sent out James VI & I! (Dragonite) Start of turn 31 The foe's Archeops used Stone Edge! It's super effective! James VI & I lost 114 HP! (30% of its health) James VI & I used Dragon Dance! James VI & I's Attack rose! James VI & I's Speed rose! The sunlight is strong! I can do this. I bulked up Dragonite enough to take hits. Thank you Multi-Scale for lowering that Stone Edge impact. Wait, it hit? What's with this guy's luck? Anyways, I proceed to Dragon Dance, as this is my only hope for destroying the other team. Dragonite has the bulk, so why not? Now at + 1/1 Atk/Speed, I should hurt enough. Well, not quite. I'll go for another. v Start of turn 32 The foe's Archeops used Stone Edge! It's super effective! James VI & I lost 222 HP! (58% of its health) James VI & I used Dragon Dance! James VI & I's Attack rose! James VI & I's Speed rose! The sunlight is strong! Owwwwww... that Stone Edge hurts. Thankfully Defeatist weakened Stone Edge's impact, but now I realise this guy was scarfed because he still outpaced me. I'm going for that +2/2... at this rate I probably should Outrage but... no. I'd rather Roost stall his Stone Edges out, as barring critical hits, I lose that Rock weakness and I should be able to set up more Dragon Dances. v Start of turn 33 [QT]Austin Sol called Archeops back! [QT]Austin Sol sent out Scizor! Pointed stones dug into the foe's Scizor! James VI & I used Roost! James VI & I landed on the ground! James VI & I regained health! The sunlight is strong! What's this? He switches to Scizor? Maybe he predicted that Outrage, but it's a good thing I didn't, or else Dragonite would be history. Sitting pretty at 68% HP, I can take a Bullet Punch and OHKO back with a + 2 Earthquake... I hope. (That Scizor has 65% HP). v Start of turn 34 James VI & I used Earthquake! The foe's Scizor lost 65% of its health! The foe's Scizor fainted! The sunlight is strong! Oh? That Scizor did not Bullet Punch? This doesn't look bad at all! With his Steel Pokemon out, I'm free to sweep with Outrage! Maybe I can turn this game to a 1-0! 1-4 v [QT]Austin Sol sent out Archeops! Pointed stones dug into the foe's Archeops! The foe's Archeops fainted! [QT]Austin Sol sent out Gastrodon! (Gastrodon-East) Pointed stones dug into the foe's Gastrodon! Oops. Stealth Rocks for the win. This is why rocks are important, ladies and germs! 1-3 v Start of turn 35 James VI & I used Earthquake! The foe's Gastrodon lost 34% of its health! The foe's Gastrodon fainted! The sunlight is strong! And the seaslug goes down to an Earthquake! Here we go, Dragonite sweep! 1-2 [QT]Austin Sol sent out Chansey! Pointed stones dug into the foe's Chansey! v Start of turn 36 James VI & I used Outrage! The foe's Chansey lost 80% of its health! The foe's Chansey fainted! The sunlight is strong! Meh. Outrage (180) or Earthquake (100)? OUTRAGE! And the egg plagues me no more. 1-1 [QT]Austin Sol sent out Alakazam! v Start of turn 37 James VI & I used Outrage! The foe's Alakazam lost 100% of its health! The foe's Alakazam fainted! Cécile-Aimée Renault won the battle! The psychic sage stands no chance against this! Seeing that it took no damage from Stealth Rocks, he definitely has Magic Guard. Thankfully, no Focus Sash to turn against me and have that thing blast me with his Psychic. GG 1-0 FAQs: 1) Do I know this team? Yes, it's the first rendition of my Gen V team Divine Rights. 2) That was an interesting battle. But you really had the guts to keep going when you got mass haxxed? Heh. Someplace in the middle I was somewhat unsure and I just played for the heck of it with the mindset I'd lose. Yes, it was a bad battle, and I was rather hating the situations, but for some reason, I kept going. Seems like I did okay. Heh heh. This comes to show you that even if you get insanely haxxed, you can turn a battle around if you know how to play around your foe. However, there are times you will be helpless. In one test battle during the early stages of Gen V simulation in PO, Tbird trolled around while I was sweeping him with a Jynx and he critical hitted my Jynx, OHKOing her and sweeping my whole entire team, turning a 6-1 into a 0-1. Yeah, it wasn't a team that I'd use competitively, but just something in the beginning to test out some new Gen V Pokemon. >_> There was another time he critical hitted me 5 times in a row with Heracross's Close Combat, pretty much demolishing my team. But even when it looks hopeless, you CAN still try and beat your opponent. You will never know what happens unless you try! 3) Most of those crits didn't matter. Quit QQing! Oh, is that so? Let's look at a particular case here, Archeops vs Empoleon. OF COURSE, Earthquake is SUPER EFFECTIVE against Empoleon. It's supposed to OHKO!!!! Well, what I haven't told you is... Empoleon is running a defensive set. With 252 HP/160 Def, and Archeops being Adamant, let's look at how much Earthquake would actually do: 252 Atk Adamant Archeops EQ vs 252 HP/160 Def Empoleon: 64% - 75.3% Same Empoleon vs 4 HP Archeops with Scald: 92.5% - 108.9% With Torrent: 137.7% - 162.3% Please do take a note that Archeops switched into Stealth Rocks, meaning I would OHKO it regardless. So yes, these crits did matter, and the Archeops even took down my Blissey in 2 hits... with crits. You can see why I got upset 4) Meh, if that Archeops didn't switch out and if Scizor Bullet Punch'd Dragonite you'd be history!! If critical hit (most likely to happen), then yes. However, I ran different calculations to prove otherwise. Let's make a make-believe scenario. I was at + 2 on Dragonite. If Archeops crit, he'd hit 58% again while I Roost again the next turn. Archeops, iirc, would be left with 2 Stone Edges after that whole thing, so it would not stay in for a long time anyways, assuming it was Choiced (and I believe it was). So either way, Archeops would be a set up bait. Switching to Scizor, Dragonite had 68% HP after the Roost. Scizor had 65% HP. How much does Bullet Punch from an LO Adamant 252 Atk Scizor do to my 224 HP Dragonite? Adamant 252 Atk Scizor w/ LO Bullet Punch vs 224 HP Dragonite: 38.3% - 45.4% Barring critical hit, that will not OHKO a 68% Dragonite. With the LO recoil, Scizor loses 10% HP, bringing it down to 55%. In return, how much does Dragonite's Outrage + 2 do? + 2 Adamant 80 Atk Dragonite Outrage vs 248 HP Scizor: 56.9% - 66.8% Just enough to scrape that OHKO on Scizor. Earthquake, I imagine, will do slightly more. This is assuming Scizor has 248 HP, but if not, I'd imagine it would do slightly more, so either way, I had Scizor covered. Lum Berry was still in-tact, and no one had a priority move, so after that Outrage, Lum Berry would clear away the confusion. If Scizor was using Swords Dance in hopes of surviving an Earthquake (which would do a minimum of 63% max), and it survived the impact from Earthquake, then yes, I'd probably be history as Scizor would be left with at most 2% and 38% * 2 would be greater than 68%. Let's say this actually did happen and I did not OHKO Scizor like in that actual battle. What could I have done otherwise? I know this is an unrealistic situation, but say I was able to read another person's mind in that they live the EQ and they SD to BPunch me to oblivion. Then I can use Roost to bring Dragonite back to 100%, activating Multi Scale, and as Scizor fails to OHKO Dragonite with Bullet Punch after the + 2, it takes the LO recoil, and is brought into KO range from Earthquake. However, if it was a critical hit. . . yeah you know the deal. So either way, I could secure that victory. Again, I would like to let you know, if any of these moves (mostly Scizor's) attack landed a CRITICAL HIT, I'd be a goner for sure. But since this is what happened, how can you argue with that? 5) Aren't you forgetting something? No, I don't think so. 6) No, you are forgetting something. DUDE. I want that Dragonite set! Go look at my RMT thread you lazy bum. Oh, you can't? I just linked it. Well, all right. James VI & I (Dragonite) (M) @ Lum Berry Trait: Multi-Scale EVs: 224 HP / 80 Atk / 204 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Dragon Dance - Outrage - Earthquake - Roost Like I said, you could have looked in my RMT. Anyways, it's an old spread I used in Gen IV, only to be brought back in Gen V for more fun. Multiscales makes it even more possible, and Dragonite sweeps are frequent once all his threats are out. Try it out, but since many of you have better relationships with RNG than I do, you might as well do something better out of it. There is certainly more confidence setting up with Dragonite than with many of the other Dragons out there. I'm just glad Garchomp does not have access to DD. *shudders* 7) 404: Not Found! The password is Aardwolf! 8) What is Imperial Rage? Apparently Outrage's Japanese name was Imperial Rage. At least that's what I'm told. (げきりん) 역린 in Korean basically means the same thing. Dragons and imperialism. Mmm. It was also Dragonite's signature move in GSC, except Charmander and Larvitar can learn it via breeding. Now it's like nearly widespread on some random Pokemon. Ah well. Thanks to: Dragonite: For that unexpected amazing sweep near the end. Ninetales: The only other member in my team for KOing someone else on Austin's team Austin Sol: For being a haxxy haxx0r. Heh, it was his birthday yesterday (4 May) so wish him a happy birthday! Random Number Goddess: You may have tried to eat me this time, but I still came out on top. Ha! Greencat: His format I stole still remains. You: For reading 1
Tbird Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 That's a great read, buddy. You really do have some bad luck . Have you still got that warstory where my Heracross like Critted your whole team out? You were not happy that day. What I don't get is how in the face of adversity you still manage to kick the hell out of folk It's not fair, I tell ya! Not that I want to see you lose, just wish I could still win from 5-1 down
wraith89 Posted May 6, 2011 Author Posted May 6, 2011 Heh. To make you feel better, at least you get to 6-0 people. Due to my insanely poor luck, that would never happen to me. I do occasionally, but against people who are a little new to the game or something. Otherwise, this is what happens with me
Ziz Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 Blegh wraithy. You are unbelievably unlucky. but you pulled off a win! Good job! :B
Skevengal Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 hehe lol, its nice to laugh at knowing that someone ACTUALLY has worse luck than me
